TFG, you're seeing the same things I've seen in SLU the three times I've seen them.

Cassidy has improved over last year though. He's a tough kid, who's quicker than anticipated. Jett could be on Illinois or Mizzou right now and fit right in. That was a good get.

iPhone changed Cassity's name...probably because of Butch.

Butch was way cooler in my opinion.

I've seen Cassity go from a freshman to a junior, and he's getting better...but it's almost too late. He's always driven the lane, the only difference is that in previous years he could never finish...and also not draw a foul. This year, he seems to finally be putting it together. Here's hoping it isn't too little, too late for him...I was hoping he would be where he is this year...last year.

I can honestly say that if Mitchell and Reed where still on the team, the Duke game wouldn't have been embarrassing. We still would have lost, but it would have been by 15-20...not 40. Plus, I think we would have given Missouri State (notice I didn't say SWMS, haha) a run this year. Last year would have been a great game if Mitchell was healthy (you can thank UMKC for knocking him out of the game by gashing his eye).

Oh well...SLU is on the right track, it would have been nice if we didn't get derailed during the offseason. As a fan it was like getting punched in the stomach, all of our momentum was lost. We'll start climbing the ladder, they didn't build a new arena and hire a high profile coach to not make it to post-season play.

Clearly you do not know the First Law of SLU. If a blatantly poor, short-sighted decision can be made, it will.

Oh, I was there for 6 years, I know the 1st law...but do you know the Second and Third Law of SLU?
2) We don't like to spend money on athletics unless it will make us money.
3) Keep our parking garages full of paying customers.

Both are true.

But then I realize SLU is in the Atlantic 10 and I just remember the first.

If Majerus gets a contract extension (and I'm assuming he will), I don't know how much longer SLU will be in the A10...he wants to move to the MVC.

Yeah, he reiterated that in his postgame presser after MO State.

You can watch Billikens lose to Mississippi at atdhe.net online.

Would the Mo Valley allow 11 teams?

Maybe. The Mo Valley's HQ is in St. Louis, so I don't see why the Billikens couldn't join.
